Square One blogs

Selected by Liniar to redesign and develop a new brand and guidelines, we utilised their existing leaf design, which they had grown to love, and set about creating a clean, modern logo with matching brand elements.

Using fresh colours and a more contemporary typeface, we were able to create a modern look which sat perfectly with Liniar’s state-of-the-art products

To complement their new and revitalised identity, Liniar wanted business cards which would set them apart from their competitors. Gluing duplex cards made from 270gsm white and lime board, we die-cut these to mirror the shape of their redesigned logo, resulting in the perfect solution.

Like the Bi-fold doors they produced, Liniar wanted the brochure to be clean and contemporary. The challenge was to create a brochure containing the right mix of aspirational images and the necessary technical data. Working within the parameters of the new brand guidelines, we were able to produce a modern, attractive and informative brochure.

We were commissioned to produce the Corby Annual report, which summarises the Commissioning Group’s achievements, progress and financial activity throughout the year. We worked closely with the client to produce the report and update the design from last year’s edition.

Whilst we were mindful of NHS brand guidelines and maintaining the strict corporate identity, we utilised small but effective design techniques to enhance the overall look and feel of the design, and to distinguish Corby’s distinct identity.

Working with Arch, we designed a Digital Roadmap for Northampton NHS and Northampton Council helping local people make the best use of new technology. The document was infographic led with the aim of making the content more engaging and simpler for the reader to understand.

Arch and Corby were so pleased with the work that we had done on the Annual Report, that they returned the following year for us to work on their latest Report. The brief, ‘same again but different’ was a challenge, but again, they were delighted with the end result.

Arch asked us to work with their NHS client West Hertfordshire Hospitals to create a series of banners, as part of the NHS “Hello… I am…” campaign. The banners, positioned around the hospital, introduce the staff to visitors and patients.

West Hertfordshire NHS, pleased with the work we had previously produced for them, asked us to do some design work on their Vision graphic. There were many different elements that needed combining within the poster which proved challenging. Despite that, everyone was really happy with the end result.

We were asked by Arch to create a new design feature for their client Corby NHS for them to use in their branding. We created a simple, flowing line drawing showing key buildings in Corby. We then applied this to the design for their annual report.

Arch tasked us to design their own brochure which explains more about their business and how they can help you market your business.

We have been working alongside Derbyshire County Council to build a brand for the Fostering Team. These posters were designed to engage possible fosterers and to highlight the fact that you only need a spare room in your home to apply.
